I learned through osmosis that I could use the '@' sign to prevent an error with an uncertain variable. For example, if there is no $_GET[] value in this line, $query=$_GET["q"]; I will get an error, but if I prefix the value with '@', [EMAIL PROTECTED]"q"]; and no value is available, a null st

The bad news is that there are no intrinsic PHP functions for accessing the registry and my third party registry object is not a compatible COM object. The good news is that I can run an external VBS script with the Exec command that does everything I want and feeds the results back to the PHP scr

I want to convert some ASP pages to PHP to go along with a transition from IIS to Apache. One of the ASP script functions involves reading data from the Windows registry. How does one read from the registry with PHP? Also, is it possible to use ActiveX objects with PHP? The above mentioned script
